No, there is no 'greatest integer'. That is because positive numbers can go up tp infinite, and we do not know where numbers stop.
However, there is a negative greatest integer because the ones that's closes to zero is -1.
12)
9/10 / 3/4
= 9/10 * 4/3
= 12/10
= 6/5
Answer: Jeremy drove 84 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of miles that Brenda drove.
If Jeremy drove twice
as far as Brenda, it means that the distance covered by Jeremy would be 2x miles
When they stopped after some time, they were already
126 miles apart. This means that the total distance covered by both of them is 126 miles. Therefore,
x + 2x = 126
3x = 126
x = 126/3
x = 42 miles
The number of miles that Jeremy drove is
42 × 2 = 84 miles
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
By putting the numbers in the given equation,
2x + 3 + 3x = 7x + 9
5x + 3 = 7x + 9
(5x + 3) - 7x = (7x + 9) - 7x
(5x - 7x) + 3 = 9
-2x + 3 = 9
(-2x + 3) - 3 = 9 - 3
-2x = 6
-x = 3
x = -3
Therefore, our equation is correct which has a negative result.
In place of 6 if we use 8, value of x will be negative again.
